The Marin School is participating in a project with Teach With Africa, a San Francisco-based non-profit that supports three secondary schools (named LEAP Schools) in South Africa. LEAP students are visiting the Bay Area for two weeks starting today, 1/14; they will perform at TMS on Monday, January 25th, and their time will culminate in a TMS-hosted workshop on January 30th entitled “Celebrate, Collaborate.” The workshop seeks to address issues of equal access to education and race relations in S. Africa and the Bay Area. A pre-workshop meeting was held on Tuesday in the TMS Hawk’s Nest with students and educators from the following schools: The Marin School, Lick-Wilmerding, Redwood, Branson, Drew, and Ralph A. Bunche Academy.
The January 30th workshop will be led by English teacher Jonah Weaver and the following volunteer TMS students: Tej Poonian, Becky Kliman, Demetrius Borge, Paola Garcia, Sabrina Schroeder-Dammann, and John Alba Cerritos. In addition, the parents of Becky and Tej will each be hosting a LEAP student for the duration of their stay in the Bay Area.
A big thank you to all participating students and parents!
